“Very quiet and scenic location, very nicely decorated property.”

Owners were very helpful and pleasant and even called me in advance of our stay to confirm how to get here. Very comfortable beds and fully equipped kitchen meant it was a restful stay. Owners were kind enough to supply some basics such as a loaf of bread, butter, oil, hand soap, dishwasher tablets etc, etc, which was much appreciated. Only issue - think the previous occupants to us may have brought their pet as we found some pet hairs on the floor and some on furniture. Overall we would not ...

“We enjoyed our stay at Nectan very much.”

All was as expected and the generous welcome pack was much appreciated. Robin and Rosey provided a good pre-arrival document with some great tips and advice- especially regarding local roads. Their welcome letter contained additional great advice and guidance on a range of items including the local arrangements for rubbish and bins. We were at Nectan in an unprecedented heat wave so a fan would have been useful - but not a major issue (and not something you usually mention regarding a UK holiday

“We had a wonderful week at Nectan.”

Very comfortable, well-equipped, and provided just the break we were looking for. Thank you so much.

Ellise March 2026

“What an absolute find.”

..so lovely clean, everything you would need. It looks s at top of quite a steep hill however the area is hilly so it is very much the norm for the location. Hosts are so friendly and helpful.

- Ellise, March 2026
Caroline March 2026

“My friend and I had a wonderful stay at Nectan.”

Great location, friendly hosts, lovely welcoming treats for us to enjoy during our stay. Would highly recommend and would definitely book again if I come back to the same area of Cornwall.

- Caroline, March 2026
Tony February 2026

“Excellent communication with the owners prior to arrival.”

They live next door but were not at all intrusive. Nectan is in a great spot, only a short walk from the village. The cottage was lovely and clean & is very well equipped. The small garden was perfect for our dog to have a little runaround in when needed. If you need a longer walk with your dog, turning up the hill from the cottage quickly leads to a public footpath which takes you across three large fields (no livestock, dog friendly stiles) and then on to Mevagissey. The weather was not the best while we were there but there is plenty of garden furniture to use if the sun decides to shine. We had a wonderful, relaxing stay.

- Tony, February 2026
Helena December 2025

“We had a wonderful stay at Nectan.”

The hosts Robin and Rosey were super helpful in supplying directions, were available had we needed anything and they provided a generous selection of welcome goodies. The accommodation was very clean and had all we required. The woodburner was an added bonus on cold evenings. They allow dogs and there is parking. The house is a short walk into town and Mevagissey has lots to offer in terms of restaurants and shops.

- Helena, December 2025
Amanda December 2025

“We spent a lovely Christmas at Nectan.”

The house was very comfortable and we had everything we needed. We found some lovely pubs with great food. The locals were very friendly. Thank you

Amy November 2025

“The cottage was in a wonderful, convenient location and was perfect for our holiday.”

It was clean and tidy upon arrival and the host was wonderful at recommending local attractions and activities. Would definitely stay here again!

Derren November 2025

“Lovely welcoming to the property with added amenities not listed or expected.”

Warm comfortable surroundings made us feel at home. Quiet noise free helped us relax and gain good night sleep, no noise from the owners maintained a peaceful break, couldn’t really pick any faults but if I was the only small minor fault was the cobwebs above the windows but this really didn’t spoil anything would recommend and visit again

- Derren, November 2025
Jean August 2025

“Enjoyed our stay.”

The property owners were friendly and welcoming (live in adjoining part of the house) and not intrusive in any way. The accommodation is very well equipped with everything you might need home from home and a generous welcome pack was provided. Having parking for two cars in mevagissey is a bonus and great views over the fields from the rear of the property (plus a bit of a sea view from the back door). I would say that it was a tiny bit dated in places but nothing major, it was very clean. I was a bit concerned at first at the height of the rear wall of the enclosed garden as we had brought a dog with us & the wall is only a couple of feet high behind bushes. Thankfully this dog didn’t try to escape but we wouldn’t have been able to let our old dog loose as she would have been away with the sheep in the distance - it could do with a higher fence really as it could impact if bringing a dog that might want to explore. The website says a short stroll down hill into the village (true) but the hill is very, very steep. Anyone with any joint or heart/fitness issues will struggle. Also the car access routes at either end of the road can be tricky with tight bends/single track roads (I guess that’s Cornwall for you), but not for the feint hearted driver. Overall an enjoyable holiday and I came back fitter!

Robert August 2025

“Absolutely fantastic property and in a great position close to the harbour with its lovely pubs and restaurants.”

Would definitely stay here again and the owners are lovely and accommodating too.

Gillian July 2025

“Lovely property, Robin and Rosie were super and the thoughtful things they left for us were very much appreciated eg: fresh flowers in a vase, bottle of wine, bread, butter, milk.”

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

- Gillian, July 2025
Nance May 2025

“It’s a beautiful property and the owners are delightful.”

The only negative is the location atop of a very steep and long hill . If you are fit and able it’s still tough , if you have impaired mobility it’s a car into the town .

- Nance, May 2025
Susan April 2025

“The Annexe was lovely, our dogs thoroughly enjoyed their first holiday and were very well behaved, Hosts were very pleasant and I loved the face that it was lovely & warm in the morning & evenings.”

Thank you so much

“Lovely cottage, clean and comfortable.”

A little dated. Beautiful seaviews

Heather February 2025

“We had a lovely stay at nectan cottage.”

Robin and rosey were super helpful with guidance over the week! Lovely log burner in the lounge which was cosy. The hill is very steep to walk up and down to the village so bear in mind, my 70 year old dad was done by the 3/4th night of it haha. I personally found the upstairs bed a little too hard and it hurt my back slightly but that’s obviously a me issue so only downside to my stay. We ate at the sharksfin for Sunday lunch and in the week great meals both times. The ship inn was lovely food too. We had a beer in the fountain with the fire going. We visited Charlestown and ate at the Rashleigh, the polgooth inn just up the road is lovely pub and great food! Over all great week had in mevagissey. Thanks!

- Heather, February 2025
Claire January 2025

“Very comfortable stay warm cosy accommodation owners always willing to help if necessary good garden for the dogs.”

Quite a steep hill to the harbour

“Lovely cottage - everything we needed.”

Really appreciated the welcome touches left for us on arrival especially the beautiful flowers and wine. Great place to base yourself to discover Cornwall.

- Diane, October 2024
Wendy October 2024

“We had a good time at Nectan, the property is in a great location for us and the dogs, they had a great time in the garden as well as the walks.”

The owners are extremely thoughtful and are very friendly, when we saw them they asked if we were OK, and had everything we needed, which we did. The only negative, both of the beds we found uncomfortable so we didn't get a great night's sleep, (maybe the mattresses need renewing, or are new). It is extremely cosy of an evening, now that the nights are drawing in, we would have loved to have used the log burner, but (unfortunately) it was still too warm to use it. Lots of crockery and cutlery with plenty of choice of utensils and pans. There were cobwebs around the lights and windows, so maybe the cleaning team need to be more aware of this, when turning the property round for the next set of holiday makers. Otherwise, the property was clean and sufficient for our needs. I would certainly recommend Nectan.

- Wendy, October 2024
Barry August 2024

“We had an excellent week at Nectan.”

Lovely accommodation in an incredible location. Highly recommend!

- Barry, August 2024
Martyn July 2024

“Had a wonderful fortnight staying at Nectan.”

The property is well placed and a short 5 minute walk down the hill to the harbour. The hill is not at all bad back up unless you are very unfit or have limited mobility. The garden is a lovely private area of patio, lawn and flowers/shrubs. There were just two of us staying, with our two dogs and had adequate space however, personally I think 4 people sharing would be somewhat cramped. The kitchen is small but workable area, I don’t know if it was just me, but every time I used the toaster it set the smoke detector off!! I do like to sit at a table to eat, and whilst there is a folding table indoors, it would take over the lounge space if it were to be fully opened. The bed was very comfortable and huge. Only used the upstairs bedroom for sleeping, but used the downstairs shower as much more powerful than the upstairs en-suite. There is adequate parking on the driveway to the cottage, shared with the hosts, Robin and Rosie , and although next door to them, only saw them twice, once to ask whether we would like the cleaning lady to come in and change bedding for week 2, and once when we were returning home from a day coastal walking and they were tending to the flowers, both are lovely people. The welcome pack left for us was gratefully received. Would recommend certainly to couples, and would return to Nectan if basing at Mevagissey any time

- Martyn, July 2024
Danielle May 2024

“We had a lovely stay at Nectan the owners were really friendly and helpful and provided extra directions so you can avoid the drive through the village.”

The garden was great for my dog and the property had everything we needed for our stay. An ideal base for exploring, we would happily stay here again.

- Danielle, May 2024
Christine May 2024

“We had a lovely stay at Nectan.”

Comfortable and everything we needed. The owners Robin and Rosie live next door. They were friendly and gave us some good tips about things to do. I walked into Mevagissey every morning to get newspapers. Just had to buy a coffee and cinnamon bun which I enjoyed sitting on the harbour. The walk back up the hill is a challenge. Loved Megavissey and our stay at Nectan.

- Christine, May 2024
Jane March 2024

“Lovely property in a perfect location.”

Contained everything we needed plus a few little extras that were a lovely touch. Safe and secure garden for the dogs and a great base for all our walks. The owners were very friendly and helpful and Mevagissey has many dog friendly pubs/restaurants. We had a great time.

- Jane, March 2024
Anthony March 2024

“Very comfortable stay, our hosts welcomed us, on arrival we had been provided with an outstanding welcome pack.”

A very enjoyable short break, thank you.

- Anthony, March 2024
Jane February 2024

“The property was easy to find with good parking.”

Access to the town within walking distance although the hill back up is challenging! Comfortable and we were able to use the wood burner which made the evenings very cosy. Overall a great base for exploring that part of Cornwall, and Heligan was just a stones throw away.

- Jane, February 2024
Paula January 2024

“What a great find!”

Everything you need, quiet, clean, comfortable and warm! Great garden for Ralph (the dog). Set up the hill above the most beautiful quaint harbour. Daily walk down the hill (it’s quite a hill!) for a coffee to sit and enjoy the view. We met the owner/s just once to make sure all is ok and then left alone to enjoy our week. Would not hesitate to recommend this property and area. The most lovely week.

- Paula, January 2024
John November 2023

“We loved our stay at Nectan.”

It was comfortable and had everything you needed for a fantastic break. Would recommend it for sure.The owners were helpful and available if needed. I cant praise it high enough.

- John, November 2023
Barbara November 2023

“Lovely week's stay in a very wet and windy November!”

Comfortable warm house, home from home atmosphere with extras like games, jigsaws, board games, books, DVDs. Kitchen very well equipped. Welcome pack of milk, bread, butter, beans etc was a lovely surprise. Great south facing patio overlooking fields. Robin and Rosey really welcoming and helpful. Hill down to the village centre really steep and would be too challenging for those with mobility issues. Recommend driving round the back lanes rather than the single track road down (unless you like reversing up round a steep bend!). Very dog friendly pubs. Highly recommended.

- Barbara, November 2023
Sheila October 2023

“We had a fabulous stay at nectan and the cottage was very well set up for our holiday.”

We would thoroughly recommend anyone to stay here.

- Sheila, October 2023
Jennifer October 2023

“We had a lovely week at Nectarn.”

Mevagissey is a beautiful place to visit lots to see and do both in Meva and the surrounding areas. Robin and Rosie were really helpful particularly with directions avoiding the village, thank you! The cottage is lovely really warm with everything you could want. Yes, there’s a steep hill to walk up but by the end of the week you don’t even notice it - honest!!! Thank you.

- Jennifer, October 2023
Karen October 2023

“This small but perfectly formed property, was lovely and very cosy.”

The owners were such lovely and caring people and always on hand if there was any thing we needed. The property is in prime position with things like Helegon Gardens, 5 minutes round the corner. We would happily go again.

- Karen, October 2023
Clive September 2023

“A lovely welcome pack awaited us as we entered the kitchen.”

A glass of wine much appreciated after a 6 hour drive. The house was clean and cosy. The garden perfect for our little dog. Everything we needed to prepare meals was there and the beds comfortable. Steep but easy walk into town for coffee and cakes. Thank you.

- Clive, September 2023
Alison August 2023

“Nectan is a real home from home, everything you need is thought of and a nice welcome package of milk, bread, crisps, butter, a tin of beans and some wine was left for us.”

The owners were very friendly and they gave us good places to visit in the area. Bedding was a good quality and the towels were perfect, they were big enough to fit around the average human and some spare!! The walk to the harbour and back is on a very steep hill so please be aware of this as this could hinder your enjoyment if your mobility is impaired. All in all a fabulous holiday from the booking process to checking out.

- Alison, August 2023
Wayne July 2023

“Perfect little getaway with adequate facilities.”

Tv remote didnt work very well though and I found the bed a touch too hard but these are small things that didnt affect the holiday. Great shower very powerful. Nice little welcome pack from the owner who was very helpful and friendly. I would warn anyone who struggles a bit with fitness to be wary of tregony Hill where the house is. Its incredibly steep from the town centre to the house. Walking is best though avoid driving in the town as the streets are tiny and there is nowhere to go if you meet another car. We used the other end of the road which are tiny back roads but found those better and less dangerous than the town with its tiny streets and vast amounts of tourists. Overall a lovely place but tricky for cars.

- Wayne, July 2023
Marilyn June 2023

“We had a great week at this property.”

Our stay coincided with Feast Week which was great seeing locals having fun. The only downside is the walk up the hill which is difficult for anyone with dodgy knees or backs. We found it easier to drive the long way down to the village car park, walk to the harbour and shops and then drive back! Definitely take the longer route to the property as the village streets are difficult to navigate. This is a lovely place for exploring and so dog friendly. The cottage has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The owners are very friendly and left a lovely welcome gift.

- Marilyn, June 2023
Sharon June 2023

“We was happy with property our other couple found bed upstairs uncomfortable which they bot had pain killers as got up each morning complaining in pain, and floor joist made horrid noise when walking about upstairs, we all loved place clean tidy , if you have walking issues its at top of very steep hill would not recommend.”

- Sharon, June 2023
Sheree June 2023

“A very nice property, clean and comfortable.”

A well equipped kitchen. A pretty outlook over the countryside and very peaceful and although up a hill only a 10 min walk into the village. The owners were lovely - very friendly and accommodating. We would happily recommend this holiday accommodation.

- Sheree, June 2023
Helen May 2023

“We had a lovely stay at Nectan.”

The owners were welcoming, and helpful when asked anything. Though they are living next door, it didn't feel intrusive or awkward. The accommodation had everything we needed for the two week stay. Our only problem, and it is a minor detail, we struggled to reach anything in the wall cupboards as they are placed unusually high on the wall. I am not of short stature, and I could barely reach, because of this we were limited with storage options for our food. Could have done with a step stool. Overall it was a very pleasant stay. The garden was great for our two small dogs. We were blessed with fantastic weather. Mevagissey didn't disappoint on any level. Virtually everywhere is dog friendly, and there were lots of the furry beasts wherever you ventured.

- Helen, May 2023
Nicky May 2023

“Lovely property.”

....exactly as described. Owners on hand if needed....but not needed, everything worked or there were instructions. Clean and tidy with all you could need on holiday. Board games were used each evening....great addition to property. Sea view from garden....could check to see if rain on way in!!

- Nicky, May 2023
Julia March 2023

“Great location with a parking space and a short walk to the harbour.”

Lovely views of countryside at the back and the sea to the side. Warm and cosy with a well equipped kitchen. The welcome pack was lovely and much appreciated! The owners were welcoming but not intrusive. All in all a great cottage.

- Julia, March 2023
Lyndsay March 2023

“The cottage is beautiful, cosy, clean, well equipped kitchen, spacious- we stayed with our two greyhounds and never felt cramped.”

View of the sea from the side and countryside at the back is lovely. Location is great, just a short walk down the hill to mevagissey, walk back up is a bit of workout! But it’s so quiet and peaceful. Owners were really helpful, on hand if you need anything but not intrusive. The only fault really, and it’s not a massive issue is that if you have bigger dogs like we do, the garden isn’t as enclosed as the photo shows at this time of year. I’m sure it’s fine when all the plants have grown. The side gate is a normal small gate and the wall at the back of the garden is 2-3ft high and runs across the back of 2-3 properties so we had to keep dogs on leads in the garden in case they saw something and hopped over to chase, as the weather wasn’t great it wasn’t a massive inconvenience, but it could have been if they weather had have been better and we wanted to spend more time out there. other than that, a lovely cottage!

- Lyndsay, March 2023
Katja January 2023

“Had a fantastic stay at Nectan in January with our two dogs.”

Easy to get to, off road parking, spacious secure garden with side entrance, lovely view (South facing), well stocked kitchen, two bedrooms with en-suite, wood burner. Wow. It's also just a few minutes' walk down the road into Mevagissey with shops, pubs, cafés etc. Rosey and Robin couldn't have been friendlier. Perfect property for us and the pooches. Ticks all the boxes.

- Katja, January 2023
Gerard December 2022

“What a fabulous stay in a wonderful accommodation.”

Check in was very easy and everything you need for a stay was available. It was clean, warm and very comfortable and the hosts were fabulous. As in the description the walk down to Meva is easy however the walk back is not for the feint hearted. I would not hesitate to return or recommend thank you

- Gerard, December 2022
Patricia December 2022

Patricia November 2022

“A beautiful property in an excellent location.”

Two good size bedrooms, both with en-suite facilities. Great living are, with log burner. Kitchen well equipped. Safe garden for the dogs. Hosts were helpful and informative, around if you needed them, but unobtrusive. All in all a very lovely stay in beautiful Mevagissey. Thank you indeed.

- Patricia, November 2022
Wendy November 2022

“Spacious, comfortable accommodation with a lot of thought gone in to making Nectan a super place to stay.”

Robin and Rosey made me feel so welcome, and went out of their way to make sure I was comfortable and enjoyed my holiday. They were very accommodating as I welcomed a series of guests throughout my stay!

Theresa August 2022

“Owners v friendly.”

Fridge was a bar size one, not full size Fridge/Freezer as shown in the listing. The interior is well appointed. From the back garden the sea can only be seen when standing looking over the fence to the side of the cottage. It cannot be seen when sitting on a garden chair on the patio or lawn. We walked several times from the town up to the cottage. Note: it's a 15 min steep uphill. Hope this feedback is helpful.

- Theresa, August 2022
Joel August 2022

“We have just stayed at Nectan and we all had a wonderful holiday.”

The accommodation was perfectly spaced for our family of 4. The property was well equipped with everything needed. There is a lovely well spaced enclosed garden with fabulous views to enjoy. The location was excellent as only a 5 - 10 minute walk into Mevigessy town centre where there are plenty of shops and a beautiful harbour. The other advantage is having your own parking space in front of the property which was easy to access. All in all we were very pleased with the stay, also the owners who live next door were very friendly and helpful with advice.

“Very nice property to stay in.”

Very close to the centre of Mevagissey. It’s lovely to sit back and relax outside whilst enjoying the scenery. We are very much hoping to come back. Also the owners are very friendly and give lots of advice on where to eat and places to go. Lovely place to stay!

- Amanda, July 2022
Ian June 2022

“From start to finish, our stay at Nectan was very enjoyable.”

Our hosts, Robin and Rosey, were friendly and attentive, offering advice about where to eat and visit in Cornwall. It was much appreciated. The cottage was very clean and comfortable, and I would have no hestitation recommending it to holidaymakers wishing to stay in this lovely part of the UK.

- Ian, June 2022
Mark June 2022

“Lovely holiday, Nectan has everything you need, perfect if taking dogs, nice sized gardens, Robin & Rosie the owners are lovely, but not obtrusive.”

A short walk down into Mevagissey which is a fantastic place. Only about a 7 minute drive to The Lost Gardens of Heligan, which is well worth a visit. The only warning i would give, is if you are elderly, disabled or a young family with pushchairs or pram, the walk back up to the property from Mevagissey is a hell of a hill!! We loved our holiday. Mark & Kim June 2022.

- Mark, June 2022
Pamela June 2022

“The cottage was in a great location in Mevagissey.”

The owners were available next door for any issues and were very friendly. The only issue, which wasn’t an issue for us was that walking into the village involved a very steep hill. Mind you, this is the case for most of Mevagissey.

- Pamela, June 2022
Carolyn May 2022

“Lovely property, ideal for a holiday with your dog.”

Everything you need is provided, and the owners are super friendly. Great location just a short walk (up a steep hill) from the harbour in Mevagissey.

Andrew March 2022

“We had a fabulous week at 'Nectan', a lovely warm and spotlessly clean property with two good sized en-suite bedrooms, a secure garden for our dog to enjoy and easy private parking on the drive.”

The owners live next door, very friendly and helpful and nothing is too much trouble for them. It's a lovely walk down into the charming village and its picturesque harbour, all in all a fabulous holiday and can't recommend 'Nectan' high enough as a place to stay and enjoy the area.

- Andrew, March 2022

Katherine October 2021

“Nectan is extremely attractive and comfortable accommodation, and has been supplied with every resource one could need.”

It was the same last year, hence I had no hesitation in recommending it to a different friend who came with me this time. She was equally delighted. I hope to return again next year, with family members!

- Katherine, October 2021
Michael June 2021

Rachel April 2021

“We had such a relaxing week at this lovely property in Mevagissey.”

We were very comfortable there and loved the patio doors out to the garden, with countryside views and wildlife on our doorstep. The owners of the property, who live next door, were very friendly and welcoming when we arrived and left. Otherwise, we did not see them and they completely respected our privacy. We loved the walk to and from the picturesque harbour and would certainly consider returning here again in the future.

“The "cottage" has everything you could possibly need, and a lovely welcome pack.”

We may have misinterpreted the description as we were thinking there was a sea/harbour view, but this is only sideways from the garden, not a problem but not quite as expected, still beautiful view of the countryside. The garden was enclosed, perfect for our dog. There are some lovely places to eat in Mevagissey, but with hindsight we would have contacted them prior to our visit to ensure we had reservations. With help from the owner we managed to avoid the village and the virtually impossible tuning at the bottom of the hill, thank goodness!

“Hosts Rosie and Robin were very good - friendly but not pushy.”

They made some excellent suggestions based on local knowledge and went to extra trouble with recommendations for my birthday which occurred while we were there. Bedding and towels were changed midweek (which does not often happen) and cleaned weekly. Lovely setting in a working fishing village in Cornwall. Very happy to recommend it. One area - which we pointed out to the hosts - was the internet often failed - we could not connect at all. Robin and Rosie said that this had never occurred before - they have fast fibreoptic cable and had not previously been made aware of any internet problems. They undertook to monitor it with future guests.

- Josephine, August 2019
Alison July 2019

“Nectan provided us with a great base to explore Cornwall.”

It was spotless and had everything we needed. Robin the owner had phoned a couple of days before the holiday and emailed us directions to the cottage, which came in very handy. Be warned the roads are very narrow and the hill to the cottage is steep. Robin & Rosie were very friendly & helpful. If you're visiting in the summer try to go to see Robin in the Megavissy Male Voice Choir singing on the harbour. We were very happy with Nectan and would recommend it to anyone, as long as you can cope with the hill!

- Alison, July 2019
Alan July 2019

“Excellent cottage in a good location although at the top of a hill, the couple who own the cottage live next door and are available if needed but not intrusive.”

Had a slight problem with my car and Robin offered to help fix it. Goodies when we arrived milk, butter, bread, biscuits and a bottle of red. Would recommend.

- Alan, July 2019
Lisa June 2019

“Robin and Rosie very much respected our request for a peaceful stay, greatly appreciated.”

Excellent location for exploring the area, so many wonderful places to explore nearby. Mevagissey an utter joy. Cottage very comfortable, garden perfect and secure for our 2 small elderly dogs. Great walking from the door.

Bryan April 2019

“Booked this holiday apartment for a weeks stay for me, my wife and adult daughter.”

Spoke to the owner Robin on the phone before we travelled and he emailed me directions to avoided going through the centre of Mevagissey. He also gave me tips on places to visit. This is a really nice apartment / extension with two good sized bedrooms attached to the main owners home. There was suitable parking for two large cars. Both bedrooms had en-suite bathrooms. One bedroom had a large double bed with the upstairs bedroom having a king size bed. Comfortable living area with seating for 4 to 6 adults. Kitchen was fully functional with electric cooker, microwave, toaster, filter coffee maker etc which was fine for our stay. Outside private garden with table and chairs to enjoy the sunny weather. We really enjoyed our stay. There are some very narrow roads around this part of Cornwall I advise those with satnavs to turn off quickest route selection and don’t follow the route without checking the roads are suitable for your car. Some roads are are very narrow just a bit wider the your wing mirrors with few or no passing points. Be prepared to reverse.

Jennifer January 2019

“Nectan is a lovely warm comfortable cottage and ideal if you have a dog.”

The surrounding area has lots of dog walking opportunities in all weathers and some great cafes to walk to. We went to the shipwreck museum at church town and even the dog enjoyed it.

Gary October 2018

“Superb cottage and facilities, made very welcome by the owners who also left us some food and drink on arrival.”

Sara August 2018

“The property was lovely, clean and well equipped.”

Mr Murphy was there if needed but by no means intrusive.

- Sara, August 2018
Jennie August 2018

“Very comfortable, home from home, in the pretty fishing village of Mevagissey.”

Just a short (steep) walk down to the harbour. Lovely meal had at The Salamander. Take the ferry to Fowey, we saw porpoises both there and back! Visit the Lost Gardens of Heligan and walk along the left-handside of the coast and down 200 steps to the most beautiful secluded cove. Thank you so much for the bottle of wine and biscuits ...tea coffee milk etc. Just the perfect little base..lovely peaceful garden too.

- Jennie, August 2018
Kim July 2018

“Our hosts were very welcoming, we felt very comfortable at our temporary home.”

The layout is perfect for a family or two couples travelling together. Just the right distance from the busy village and parking on the property was very convenient. We would recommend this holiday cottage without reservation.

- Kim, July 2018
Sally May 2018

“A really nice holiday home in a quiet location - spacious and clean with a nice little sitting out area through the patio doors with views over the fields.”

Robin, the owner, was really pleasant and helpful. Mevagissey is a really nice Cornish fishing village with plenty of eateries to suit all tastes and a couple of good pubs. The only downside of getting there from Nectan is the extremely steep hill (I think Robin's 100 yards from the village is more than a little optimistic!!!), however, we managed it on a number of occasions but if you are older or have small children I would suggest you think carefully before booking. That said, if you want somewhere to stay in Cornwall that has a parking space you have a price to pay!! All things considered, it was a lovely holiday home and we had a great stay.

Jon March 2018

Clare August 2017

“Nectan is by far the most comfortable, spacious and well equipped cottage we have stayed in.”

The owners, who live next door, are extremely friendly and knowledgable about the local area. A delightful base for our holiday and well worth the climb back up the hill from harbour and shops

- Clare, August 2017
David May 2017

“Really nice and calm feeling when you first walk in and location was great, although the hill to and from the town / harbour is short and steep.”

Very clean. Would recommend.

Suzy October 2016

“The cottage was very comfortable and very warm.”

The enclosed garden was excellent for our dog with walks nearby. The harbour was just a five minute walk down the hill, but longer coming up. Very steep hill! And when we arrived it was lovely to be provided with milk, bread butter, wine, tea & coffee. All in all a very lovely and relaxing holiday with fantastic weather for November.

- Suzy, October 2016
Helen August 2016

- Mrs Moseley, August 2014
Karen August 2014

“We particularly liked the location of the property which was a short, pleasant walk in to the village.”

The property over looked hills at the back with a sea view to the side which enhanced sitting in the garden. The property was spotlessly clean.
